Pepper Steak with Arugula Salad

This dish literally took me 10 minutes to make.  Healthy, fast and delicious works for me.  The Arugula leaf has a nutty bitter flavor I just love, and when paired with a lemon based vinaigrette and red onion, it’s to die for.  It definitely complimented the sweet peppers in the steak.  I found this to be a great combo!  Hope you do to.

What you need:

·       Steak strips (I bought them pre-cut at Publix)

·       1 white onion

·       1 green bell pepper

·       1 red bell pepper

·       Arugula lettuce

·       1 red onion

·       1 container of cherry tomatoes

·       Adobo to taste

·       Black pepper to taste

·       Mojo

·       Balsamic vinegar

·       Tomato basil seasoning from Mrs. Dash

·       Oregano

·       1 lemon

·       White wine vinegar

·       1 clove of garlic

·       Olive oil

Start off by seasoning the steak strips with a little bit of mojo, Adobo, black pepper and Mrs. Dash.  Heat skillet on high and add a little bit of olive oil.  Sear the steak strips then add the onions, peppers (Julienne) and cook until the veggies are tender.  At the very end, add about 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, stir and remove from heat.

Arrange your Arugula leaves on the plate and place tomato halves and red onion on top.  Serve the steak beside it and enjoy!

For the Dressing: Squeeze a whole lemon (until you have about ¼ cup of fresh lemon juice) and add the zest of the lemon, black pepper and oregano.  Add about a ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil, 1/8 of a cup of white wine vinegar and 1 minced clove of garlic.  (I like to blend with a mixer to make sure it blends really well and gets a dressing consistency).  Pour over the arugula salad.

I ate it just like that but I added brown rice for my boyfriend and he loved the meal.  Hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did.

Happy Cooking & Bon Appetite!
